Here’s the match report:
So, another day, another short-ish one-sided game. But this one comes stacked with romance and adventure, as Afghanistan claim a fourth scalp, and put themselves in the mix for the most unlikely of semi-final places. Admittedly, the odds are against them with matches against Australia and South Africa to come, but what a composed, intelligent, talented side they’ve been in this tournament, well captained, and bowling and batting with nous and skill. Which reflects well on their coach, Jonathan Trott, also.
It all sets up the weekend’s action beautifully, with tomorrow’s Pakistan v New Zealand set-to well worth setting an early alarm for if you’re in Europe. And that’s us done for the today – thanks for following and your thoughts on drugs, geopolitics, wooden spoons and cricket, pretty much my ideal conversations on a night out anyway. Have a good weekend. Bye.
